April 6, 2023 edition - Cheesecakes or donuts? Why not both?

Hi ETC family!

I hope everyone is doing well!

This week, we’re covering something sweet; you guessed right, we’re talking desserts. We want to know: what are your all-time favourite dessert shops in the Tri-Cities? Donuts, muffins, cheesecakes, or cookies?

In my opinion, one thing the Tri-Cities should have more of is late-night dessert spots. We have covered a few in our previous newsletters, so be sure to check those articles out. 

I love reading your recommendations, so, as always, feel free to email us with your favourite dessert spots.

Stay awesome, Tri-Cities.

– Tina & the ETC Team

Here’s where to find the best cheesecake in the Tri-Cities

It’s hard to think of anything more comforting and indulgent than a slice of cheesecake.

With variations all over the world—from thick New York-style to fluffy, soufflé-like Japanese cheesecakes—we can all agree this iconic dessert has a spot in all of our hearts, no matter which type of cheesecake is your go-to.

On that note, what’s the best cheesecake flavour? Is it classic-as-can-be vanilla topped with strawberries? Perhaps it’s a Spanish basque cheesecake with burnt edges, or an airy slice scented with matcha. We’ll have one of each, please!

Here are some of our favourite cheesecake spots in the Tri-Cities:
